"Liquid and elegantly stylized." — Alan Moore

“Chester 5000 is everything I wish I could be in a robot boyfriend and Jess Fink is everything I wish I could be as an artist. This is the most sexcellent book you will ever read.” —Rich Stevens, author of Diesel Sweeties

"Fink’s gorgeous, clean-lined art is a good fit for some unashamedly dirty content... Fink’s storytelling is as likely to pluck on your heartstrings as get you all steamed up." — The Guardian

"A naughty tale of true romance." — io9

"Like the works produced during the high point of the adult film industry, Chester 5000 has both a narrative and a heart... fluid and cute." — Paste

"Both sexy and charming. This is pornography with a heart." — The AV Club

"[Chester 5000] spins male vibrator anxiety (I’ve been replaced by a machine!) into a fantasia about women asserting control over their own orgasms." — Burnaway

"A woman-friendly, couple-friendly book destined to become a perennial in sex-positive toy and book stores." — The Comics Journal

"Delightfully playful... a genuinely beautiful piece of erotica so evidently drawn with love by a comicbook creator unafraid to concoct something that would arouse women like herself every bit as much as men." — Page 45

"This is the kind of book that makes me ecstatic to read comics." — Johanna Draper Carlson, Comics Worth Reading

1885: an age of industrial revolution and sexual frustration. Pricilla is a woman with needs, and her inventor husband Robert is a little too busy with his experiments to keep her fully satisfied. Science to the rescue! With a few gears and springs, the proper appendages, a little lubrication, and a lot of love, Chester 5000 is born! He's the perfect tool for the job... but what if Chester is more than just a machine? What are the consequences of trying to engineer love?

A vintage delight for adult readers of all stripes, Jess Fink’s Top Shelf debut reads like a whimsical love-child of steampunk, silent film and erotic comics.
